Title: Lock
Author: Kimberly Knight
Genre: Romantic Suspense/Fairytale
Publication Date: March 17th, 2020
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR
Blurb:
Before Zell was born, her fate was sealed.
Held captive in a high-rise overlooking New York City since the age of twelve, she had no friends her own age, no life outside of the penthouse, and absolutely no choices of her own. But what she didn’t realize was the tower where she lost her freedom would one day become her salvation. Her prince would arrive, they would fall in love, and they would come up with a plan for her to escape so they could live happily ever after.
If only it were that easy.
Every girl dreams of her life becoming a fairy tale, even Zell, who’s knowledge of romance was simply from the books she stole from other girls at the brothel.
In a world where sex, drugs, and manipulation is solely the life she knows, the only fairy tale poor Zell would endure would be a sinister one ...
Because freedom always comes at a price.

Tell us about the process of turning your book into an audiobook.
​I search for two years to find the right narrator for this story. Frustrated, I’d almost given up. Last fall at a book con, Amy stopped by my table and introduced herself. I spoke with her for a few minutes and afterwards looked up her work. I loved what I heard and contacted her immediately to talk about starting the narration. After the gave her the manuscript and character list, she sent me a six minute clip. I was hooked! I wanted more! I loved listening to my words come to live. I also thrive on learning new things so while daunting, I feel so empowered by all I’m learning about the audiobook industry.

Was a possible audiobook recording something you were conscious of while writing? ​In the future I think I will be more conscious of names and pronunciations. I will be more clear on how a name is pronounced to ensure ease of transition between ebook or paper copies and the audio versions.

How closely did you work with your narrator before and during the recording process? Did you give them any pronunciation tips or special insight into the characters? ​My narrator read the manuscript and gave me a list of questions. I also provided her with a character bio sheet with a bit of history as to age, ethnicity, gender, etc. of my character.
How do you manage to avoid burn-out? What do you do to maintain your enthusiasm for writing?Interacting with readers and authors keep me excited and motivated. I love chatting about books, characters, plot, and hearing feedback and future ideas for my work.
Are you an audiobook listener? What about the audiobook format appeals to you? I love that I can listen to an audiobook almost anywhere. Listening to books and podcasts helps me get through mundane chores like laundry and cleaning, dishes and cooking. 

What do you say to those who view listening to audiobooks as “cheating” or as inferior to “real reading”? I don’t feel like audiobooks are cheating at all. I love the technology because I can listen in the car, on a run, or while doing chores.

In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of writing a stand-alone novel vs. writing a series? I love both stand alones and series. I try to wrap up each of my series books so it can act as a stand alone as well as add a little bit of a OMG, what’s next! If I fall in love with characters and a storyline it’s hard to let them go. I’m always sad when I finish writing a book because I miss my characters. 
  1. What's your favorite:
    1. Food - pizza
    2.  Song - there are so many, anything with a good beat and inspiring lyrics keeps me grooving
    3.  Book - Twilight, Cassandra Clare, Kristin & P.C. Cast, The Crystal Cave, Gone with the Wind, I love paranormal fantasy, light sci-fi, and dystopian, and when I’m feeling tired a good sweet romance
    4. Television show - The Vampire Diaries, Reign, The Originals, iZombie
    5. Movie - love rom com The Holiday, Love Actually, Twilight movies
    6.  Band - Bastille, The Fray, Imagine Dragons, Twenty-One Pilots
    7.  Sports team - not a huge sports fan but always go back to my roots, GT Jackets
    8.  City - Wow! Hard one - I loved NYC when I visited with friends and plan on visiting New Orleans this year, love Savannah, and Denver

Length: 15 hours 25 minutes
Publisher: C.L. Schneider⎮2020
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Series: Nite Fire, Book 2
Release date: Jan. 25, 2020
If anyone can tell the difference between monsters and humans, it's Dahlia Nite. For nearly a century, she's hunted one to protect the other. Safeguarding humanity from the creatures that slip through the torn veil between the worlds. Creatures like her.
But the lines are blurring. As people begin mutating and combusting on the streets, Dahlia realizes a strange affliction has descended upon Sentinel City. The mysterious ailment strikes all walks of life, from the posh high-end nightclub district to the homeless community. Its victims, driven to random acts of savagery, are drawing attention too fast to cover up.
Assigned to the case, Dahlia and her human partner Detective Alex Creed investigate the deaths. But all they have are questions, bodies, and a public on the verge of panic. Working behind the scenes with her self-appointed sidekick Casey Evans, Dahlia struggles to discover what, or who, is behind the alarming transformations.
As the violence spreads and the mystery unfolds, she wonders: Are the victims still human? Were they ever?
Chain Reaction is the second book in the Nite Fire series.

Interview with C.L. Schneider

What can you tell us about Nite Fire?
The Nite Fire books are written in first person, from the perspective of Dahlia Nite: a shapeshifting-creature hunter from a parallel world ruled by dragons. The series is based on the premise that all the creatures of our myths and legends actually exist, but on parallel worlds. Rips form between the worlds, the creatures slip through, and from those sightings our legends are born. Sometimes their visits are innocent blunders. Most “monsters” can’t sense the torn veil until they’re upon it. Many times, though, the incursions are planned—and deadly. 
When the first tear opened on Dahlia’s home world of Drimera, the dragons that reside there took it upon themselves to monitor and restrict the “exits” to other worlds. Twisting and hiding the truth, fabricating lies and hoarding secrets like gold; many worlds have been impacted by Drimera’s choices. Their eons of shadowy maneuverings have turned reality into fantasy and truth into legend.
But, now, the monsters are getting bolder. The shadows are shifting out of place a little more every year, moving humanity closer and closer to an awakening. And somewhere out there, a mysterious global threat is growing…

What do you think readers would find compelling about your character? 
I think what makes Dahlia stand out are her flaws. The perfect heroine can get boring fast. They always do the right thing, overcoming every obstacle without consequence. But that’s not real life. Real people are flawed. They make mistakes, have bad habits, and say the wrong thing. I want my readers to feel as if my characters are real. Even if they’re reading about someone who isn’t human, they still need to be able to relate to their fears, hopes, and mistakes. I think being able to identify with a “real” character drags people deeper into the story and keeps them invested on the character’s storyline. 
 

What was your inspiration for writing Nite Fire?

I’m a bit of a fangirl. I love fantasy and sci-fi TV shows like Supernatural, X-Files, Jessica Jones, etc. The list of my favorite shows is far too long to mention here! I wanted to write something that was inspired by my love for those shows, with a “monster-of-the-week” quality to each book and an underlying mystery that develops throughout. I wanted to switch gears from the male character in my previous epic trilogy, to a strong female character that is equipped to take the (supernatural) world by storm—after her morning coffee, of course!


Was a possible audiobook recording something you were conscious of while writing?
No. I hadn’t dived into the realm of audio yet. Once I did, and the process was started with book 1, it was in the back of my mind as I wrote book 2. Even more so with book 3. I thought of how certain scenes would sound as I crafted them. Something I hadn’t expected, is that I can hear my narrator’s voice when I’m writing Dahlia, as well as several of the other characters. I love that!

How did you select your narrator?
I met Cassie at a local comic con. She stopped at my table to check out my books, and we started chatting. She was cosplaying as one of my favorite characters (Rose Tyler from Dr. Who), and it didn’t take long before our conversation evolved. She told me about her audiobook narration, and I was instantly intrigued. I took Cassie’s card and contacted her a few months later. We had already hit it off. But once I listened to her audition, I knew she was the one to bring Dahlia to life.  

How closely did you work with your narrator before and during the recording process? Did you give them any pronunciation tips or special insight into the characters?
Cassie and I have worked very closely throughout the entire process. Before she started recording, I typed up character profiles and sent her info on potential voices. After she read Flash Point, we met for coffee and discussed the book at length. We keep in regular contact as she records the series. She’s a delight to work with and passionate about the story, which really shines through in her narration. She even dressed up as Dahlia Nite for Halloween last year!

How do you manage to avoid burn out? What do you do to maintain enthusiasm for writing? 

I don’t really struggle with burnout. I almost always feel an urgency to write. What I struggle with is juggling everything else that comes with being a published author, plus family, friends, taking care of the house—so I can write—while attempting not to ignore anything or anyone. That’s where the burnout comes in: trying to fit it all in, with the urge to write constantly tapping on my brain. Every year I tell myself I’m going to work out a better schedule. Instead, I do what I always do: rely on multiple to-do lists, an understanding family, and lots of coffee.

Do you think certain types of writing can translate better into an audiobook?

I think unique characters that really stand out, and can be easily differentiated, are important. As is crisp dialogue that’s written in a way that is true to each character. The settings should be visually descriptive to put the listeners in the moment. Less-wordy styles of writing would keep those with split attentions (driving, etc.,) from wandering during the meandering sentences.  

Is there a message that you to try convey with your writing, something you want your listeners and readers to take away?

Not really. There are themes in my writing, but they aren’t put there with some grand purpose. They are simply part of the story I’m telling. All I really want my readers to take away is a good time. My goal is to make them feel; the good and the bad. I want to take them on an adventure that leaves them smiling, laughing, crying, and ready to throw the book across the room. I can’t think of anything better than to keep someone glued to the pages—then leave them with a massive book-hangover!


What’s next for you?

The audio version of book 3, Smoke & Mirrors, will be releasing in the fall of 2020. I’m currently working on the draft of the 4th book in the Nite Fire Series: Slash & Burn. There will be a 5th book in 2021, Exit Strategy, to finish out the series. I have a novella coming out in late spring this year, as well, entitled: The Wandering Isles, which is a follow up to my other epic fantasy trilogy, The Crown of Stones.

“So… do you have a girlfriend?”
I stiffened as the most beautiful woman I’d seen since my iffy brain decided that supermodels weren’t for us flashed me a big smile and asked about my dating life.
“No,” I replied, forcing my gaze straight ahead.  I was sure I seemed like a weirdo to her.  I should say something more than “no.”  Something that sounded… conversational.  Like…  “But my daughter bought me some.”
I realized how ridiculous that sounded the moment I said it, and I didn’t miss that what I’d said could be misconstrued as me paying for sex.  Wonderful.  I’d just informed the woman of my dreams that my daughter got me whores.  Happy birthday, everyone.

Author Heather Karn has been flying under my radar for far too long.  Thankfully we rectified that by having her as a guest on my show, #FangirlThursdays.  I was immediately intrigued by her First Blood Series. I'll post a link to the interive in my spotlight. ~ Lynn
Picture
Picture
Like most other college students in the United States, Koda Niklane’s dream is to join the government’s most advanced military unit: the Elite. Since the President’s great reveal of supernaturals living amongst humans, every college student is required to Interview for the Elite. Being human and unable to fight are setbacks for Koda, but she soon learns she isn’t quite as human as she’d thought, or rather, she’s not human at all.

When a purple-eyed blood drinker named Raven Cartana, a Captain in the Elite, announces publicly that she’s one of his kind, Koda refuses to believe him. As her new Elite trainer, Raven’s job is to keep Koda alive and teach her the ropes. Teaching is the easy part as Raven, Koda, and their team work to keep the streets safe from Threats. It soon becomes apparent that keeping Koda alive will be much harder than Raven had anticipated as the attacks on her become more personal.

As Koda works with Raven and the Elite, she can’t help but wonder how much of herself will remain once her maturity has finished. Will she still be Koda, or will she be something different? And is that why someone has their sights set on her?

First Blood is a YA/NA crossover due to character age. There is no swearing or sexual content. Mild violence.

Lynn's Review 

Devoured First Blood by Heather Karn in one night! The suspense rocketed me through the story and that shocker of an ending was more than I bargained for. Thank goodness the trilogy is complete and I can satiate my hunger!

​About Heather Karn
Heather's desire to become an author hit in 8th grade when she wrote a short story as an assignment and she turned that story into her first novel. Of course it was pretty short and not too good, but it spurred in her a desire to write. After rewriting that same novel several times, she set it aside after college and writing fell by the wayside for other hobbies.

She began reading again in 2015, and her heart burned to start writing the stories in her head. It was then that she began The Weregal Chronicles. The setting of Book 1 is in West Virginia, a place Heather holds dear to her heart. Though she only lived there for a year, she will always consider it home.

Currently, Heather and her dog, Gunney, live in Wisconsin. He's a Pomeranian who loves to keep her company while she writes, and if she gets too distracted by her writing, he likes to remind her that he's still present. He's recently learned to love to play fetch so it's their favorite distraction when she needs a break...or he does.
